"Unsafe For Jews"
NOT SAFE FOR JEWS Columbia rabbi warns Jewish students to flee campus as antisemitic mobs rage unchecked. Is this the America where I was born and raised? Is this where the school taught us the second verse of "America"?
Our father's God to Thee
Author of liberty
To Thee we sing.
Oh, I see. Liberty if a gift of God Himself. Not a gift of the government, which can take it back again any time it chooses. Now that's interesting.
Is this the America where my family on both sides came from Europe to establish their new homeland? Is this where they were assured of a place at the university or graduate school, regardless of our ethnic origins or religion? Most important, is this the America where our children can walk on the street in safety, free from mobs of haters and thugs yelling slogans from foreign terrorist organizations?
No, it is not that America. Far from it. Now what are we going to do about it?
I want my country back. I want to walk on the campus of Columbia University without being assaulted by screaming anti-Semites. Is that too much to ask? More specifically, is it too much to ask for combat veterans? Do they get to walk where they please? Or must they ask permission from America-haters who never lifted a finger to defend this country? Yes, I'm angry. Why aren't you?
